Carrier mediated interlayer exchange, ground state phase diagrams and transition temperatures of magnetic thin films


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We investigate the influence of the carrier density and other parameters on the interlayer exchange in magnetic thin film systems. The system consists of ferromagnetic and non-magnetic layers where the carriers are allowed to move from layer to layer. For the ferromagnetic layers we use the Kondo-lattice model to describe interactions between itinerant electrons and local moments. The electrons properties are calculated by a Greens functions equation of motion approach while the magnetization of the local moments is determined by a minimization of the free energy. As results we present magnetic phase diagrams and the interlayer exchange over a broad parameter range. Additionally we can calculate the transition temperatures for different alignments of the ferromagnetic layers magnetizations.
